PPS Facility Plan meeting this Thursday at Obama at 6 pm
by Highland Park Community Council 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

PPS is developing a facilities plan that is expected to include closing schools. The district's main site for the planning process has info on the public meetings on the plan, the powerpoint that's being presented at all meetings, and the draft plan, among other documents: https://www.pghschools.org/facilitiesuplan They proposed closing Fulton in the past & may do so again. Neighborhood schools are important to the community and we would not want them to close any of ours! There is also talk of changing how schools are configured by grade. Attend this meeting to learn about what they're planning & to let them know what you think is important as they finalize the Facilities Plan. See the attached flier for details. Although this meeting is not with the School Board rep for our district (that meeting was last month), the meetings are open to everyone, regardless of which district they're in. *PPS Board Member Town Hall Meeting* *Obama 6-12* *515 N. Highland Ave* *Thursday, July 11, 6 - 7:30 pm* To visit the PPS Facilities Plan website, click here. <https://www.pghschools.org/facilitiesuplan> -- Click here to visit our website <https://hpccpgh.org/>

The Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) will begin work on the following roadway upgrades: - Concrete raised bike lane - Bike lane integrated bus boarding island - Signage, flex posts, pavement, and pavement markings. The second phase of the Complete Street upgrade for Stanton Ave. address the critical need for protected micro and macro-mobility infrastructure that will ensure the safety of our most vulnerable road users. “The Stanton Avenue Complete Street project demonstrates how hard our teams at the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure work to make our streets both accessible and equitable. Accessibility and equity are crucial components of achieving zero traffic fatalities,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. The second phase of this project comes after the completion of Phase I in Fall of 2022 where DOMI installed speed cushions, bicycle climbing lanes, and permanent signage. While the goal of Phase I was to make a safe and comfortable connection for all roadway users of Stanton Avenue. The goal for Phase II is to respond to documented speeding issues while working to improve transit stops, create safer connections for cyclists, and improve pedestrian crossings. Construction work is tentatively expected to start today, Monday, July 8th, 2024 with construction of the bus boarding island taking priority and lasting through the rest of the week. Repaving, pavement markings, vertical elements, and signage are expected to take up to two weeks.
